# 5 detained in software firm data probe in MİT-coordinated operation

Coordinated by intelligence agency MİT, the Cybersecurity Directorate and Gendarmerie raided Ankara-based Aydo Yazılım, a company selling software to trade unions, detaining five people including the company owner. Investigators found a hidden interface added to union software allowed access to leaked data, and that databases included records of people under 18.
